Self-tapping screws (STS), when compared to traditional wood screws, are longer and have improved thread geometry, and are made of hardened steel which increases their axial, bending, torsional, and most importantly also their withdrawal capacity. The use of STS in connection assemblies, however, is not standardized and their advantageous performance when implemented at an angle […]

The Jewish Family Services Agency (JFSA) provides community based resettlement and employment services to immigrants in the Greater Vancouver Area from many parts of the world. The Resettlement Department counsels clients in career exploration and planning to ensure that all stages of career readiness and preparation are complete. The goal of the project, titled ‘JFSA […]

Within the gaming and aviation industries, there is a demand for simulators that imitate flight. Peripheral flight yokes are often used. The industry desires yokes that are both affordable and realistic. Recently, Iris Dynamics Ltd. has developed a new flight yoke that offers superior performance with respect to its competitors at a relatively low price. […]

Accessible, high-quality science education is central to positively shaping public opinion of science. Public perceptions and understandings of chemistry have often been associated with negative attitudes, misconceptions about the nature of chemicals, and sometimes misdirected anxieties about their effects on humans. These negative images are compounded by the fact that chemistry is under represented in […]

The annual return of sockeye salmon to the Fraser River is a vital part of British Columbia’s environment, economy, and First Nations heritage. However, sockeye salmon can face numerous challenges during their migration including fisheries, warm water temperatures, and dams. Recent population declines in sockeye salmon have prompted concerns over the challenges salmon face during […]

The proposed project is to develop an affordable point-of-care malaria detection system. The system would have two modes of operation. The screening mode is based on optofluidics, a combination of optics, and microfluidics. Optofluidics can be used to analyze blood samples to detect malaria biomarkers. Imaging of the blood samples can be done quickly and […]

In Canada, the majority of the regulated occupations in Canada are controlled by provincial and territorial law and are governed by professional bodies with the authority to set entry requirements and standards of practice and to issue licenses and/or certificates of practice to qualified skilled labour (CICIC, 2006).

The goal of the proposed research project is to survey evidence of the effectiveness of recreational therapy programs and disseminate this information through a therapy guide and algorithm that will assist recreation program staff in BC and Ontario in meeting the needs of residents living in residential care facilities. The guide will provide a comprehensive […]

The proposed research project is around conducting feasibility studies on the purification and conditioning of industrial hemicellulosic C5 sugars from a number of potentially commercial wheat straw liquor fractions. The research will propose experiments where data for the ultimate evaluation of enzymatic hydrolysis vs. a selected comparative list of acid hydrolysis can be included. The […]

The idea of using light for transferring data has been developed rapidly since 1960s. Today, using light for short-distance communication, as an alternative for copper wires, is rapidly growing mostly because of its broadband communication characteristics. Optical communication systems consist of both electronic and photonic components. Designing such systems will benefit from an Integrated Development […]

The Recon Jet is an eyewear that is targeted towards cyclists and runners. The Recon jet is attractive because it displays the athlete’s performance, such as maximum speed and acceleration in real-time using the Recon Jet h ads-up display technology. The current Recon Jet has a GPS receiver and onboard sensors that track the athlete […]
